Sugar Skulls

A special release since I have a lot

of amazing friends from Mexico in my SL.

A little story about the “Day od the Dead” or “Dia de los Muertos”

Day of the Dead is an interesting holiday
celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the chilly days of
November 1 & 2. Even though this coincides with the Catholic holiday
called All Soul’s & All Saint’s Day, the indigenous people have
combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honoring their deceased
loved ones.

They believe that the gates of heaven are
opened at midnight on October 31, and the spirits of all deceased
children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24
hours. On November 2, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the
festivities that are prepared for them.
